Sometimes Giovanni Ribisi is the modern Donald Pleasance, when he isn't the modern Peter Lorre.

Who is the modern Kirk Douglas?

Who is the modern John Wayne? (Bruce Willis???)

Who is the modern Tony Curtis? (Rob Lowe???)

Who is the modern Walter Matthau? (Perhaps Meatloaf Aday if he hadn't done so many scary roles?)

Who is the modern Joan Crawford?
